Join us for a delightful day combining heritage transport, vintage wonders, and a scenic countryside walk. We'll begin our adventure at Pulborough Train Station, where a charming vintage bus will whisk us away to the stately Parham House, home to the vibrant Sussex Steam Rally.
Sussex Steam Rally
Spend time soaking up the sights, sounds, and smells of the steam age—from majestic traction engines and classic cars to artisan stalls and live displays. After exploring the rally at your leisure, we’ll lace up our boots for a relaxed 5-mile guided walk back to Pulborough. The route winds through rolling Sussex countryside, taking in peaceful lanes, meadows, and woodlands with plenty of photo opportunities along the way.
We’ll end the day with a well-earned pub stop in Pulborough—perfect for a refreshing drink and a chat about the day’s highlights.
Highlights:
- Ride a vintage bus through the Sussex countryside
- Sussex Steam Rally at Parham House.
- Enjoy a scenic, sociable 5-mile walk
- Pub stop to toast the day
Entry to the steam rally is £10 and can be purchased online or at the gate. For more information and to purchase your ticket, visit the steam rally website.
